YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The UK government has paused the transfer of Chagos archipelago to Mauritius after facing severe criticism and opposition from the US President Donald Trump.

Earlier in May, 2025, the UK agreed to hand over the sovereignty of Chagos to Mauritius, while claiming control over Diego Garcia, a UK-US military base in Chagos, for 99 years with an annual payment of $136 million a year to Mauritius. At the time of signing the deal, the US had welcomed it with the Secretary of State Marco Rubio hailing it as a ‘monumental achievement,’ and a ‘historic agreement.’ However, in 2026 the US started opposing the agreement, with Trump terming it as an ‘act of total weakness.'
